Some Pretty Trif1es.

Minneapolis Tribune
description OF few little novelties that may
be easily made will perhaps be acceptable to
some.
To make a pretty paper holder. take two
Japanese fans of different sizes, the large one
for the back and the small one for the front.
Stiffen the small one with wire. Unite the two
and fasten into the stained black handles. A
pretty embroidery for the front fan is. sew on
and outline the birds, flowers and sDrigs which
are painted tine paper ground with floselle of
a corresponding color. The edges of the fans
are bound with ribbon which is twisted around
the wires and tied il bow at the side. Two
pretty trihes may be made as follows. by those
who do wood carving First is the yard stick.
One side of the measure is made of white wood
marked in inches. The other three sides are
carved and stained brown. The handle five
inches long. is carved in any design to suit the
taste and tied with the inevitable bow of ribbon.
Another is a camp stool. with legs and frame
carved and stained brown. and the top in leather
work. a waste-paper basket, easy and cheap,
consists of piece of thick gray cardboard fold
ed and cut cornet- shape. Both sides of the card
board are pointed in large leaves in gold, the
paint being put pretty thin. Holes are then
bored one inch from the two side edges and two
inches apart. and then laced rogether with a
cord of chenille or tnsei. Chenille braid is past
ed around the top. Bows of red fawn and
brown satin ribbon, the ends ornamented with
pompons, trim the cornet above and Two pom
pons finish the point below.
A hair holder is very pretty, made from q
Ningpoo fan, by tapping the sides over each
other fastening firmly and covering the lap
with bows of ribbon. artificial flowers or grasses.
